I've worked with collage a lot. And there's this chance thing that happens - you don't always control things. Why did you find this today and not this? But you've got this thing, and you make it work. It's the way life is, I suppose. Whatever happens, you deal with it.

Since I was a child I have always been cutting things out and gluing them together rather than drawing them.

Photography is solitary and there are lags between seeing with your eyes and seeing through the lens, and then seeing the image on your computer... I often see things after the fact. So there’s a revelatory quality. And this definitely includes a sense of playfulness, because you’re not sure what the consequences are going to be.

When you take something apart, you get a great sense of what it took to originally put it together.

As an artist, you're always somewhat obscure. We're not talking Hollywood.

I've never been a big cinephile, which may be why I could treat 'The Clock' like a puzzle and force the pieces to fit together in odd ways.

Most of my pictures are really small statements. There's a banality to them.
